An ice maker is a Portable Refrigerator mechanical device that cools water from a refrigerant in a refrigeration system through an evaporator to generate ice. According to the different principles of the evaporator and the generation process, the shape of the generated ice is also different. People generally divide the ice maker into particle ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine, tube ice machine and so on according to the shape of ice.

1. Particle ice machine: It is called particle ice because the shape of the ice produced is granular. The body type is the small particle ice of the existing ice types in the market, and the melting resistance is good. It is suitable for beverage preparation, decoration, food preservation, etc., so most of them are edible ice.
2. Flake ice machine: - Generally, it is an industrial ice machine. The ice produced is in the form of flakes. Flake ice can be made from fresh water or salt water. Flake ice is thin, dry and loose white ice with a thickness of 10 mm to 15 mm, an irregular surface shape, and a diameter of about 12 to 45 mm. Flake ice has no sharp edges and corners, and will not stab frozen objects. It can enter the gap between the objects to be cooled, reduce heat exchange, maintain the temperature of ice, and have a good moisturizing effect. Flake ice has a good cooling effect, and has the characteristics of large and rapid cooling capacity, so it is mainly used in various large-scale refrigeration facilities, food quick-freezing, concrete cooling and so on.
3. Plate ice machine: Generally, it is an industrial ice machine. The ice produced is in the form of a block. Plate ice is irregular, hard, transparent and dry. The thickness and width of the slab ice can be freely adjusted according to the application.
4. Tube ice machine: It is named because the shape of the ice cubes produced is hollow tube with irregular length. Its inner hole is cylindrical hollow tube ice with an inner hole of 5m~15mm, and the length is between 25mm~60m. There are many kinds of ice machines. Sizes are available, the outer diameter of the ice is: 22, 29, 32, 35mm, etc. The name of the ice cubes produced is tube ice. Because the contact area is medium and small for the existing ice types in the market, the tube ice has better melting resistance. It is suitable for beverage preparation, decoration, food preservation, etc., so most of them are edible ice.
